Patriot
When a famous Malayali YouTuber tries to expose a corrupt regional politician from Kerala and his malpractices, he is soon forced to go on the run and clear his name of all the false allegations that are levelled against him.
Review
The film had all the ingredients of a potential blockbuster, with a strong director, a stellar cast including Mammootty and Mohanlal, along with Kunchacko Boban, Fahadh Faasil, Nayanthara, Revathy, and others, and an engaging premise.
The first half is gripping and manages to hold attention well. However, the second half loses momentum and does not maintain the same level of impact, leading to a noticeable drop in engagement.
The main issue lies in the story, which lacks depth and consistency. It feels like multiple ideas put together rather than a cohesive narrative. While some moments work well, the overall film does not leave a strong impression.
What could have been a grand and festive cinematic experience ends up feeling like a disappointment due to uneven pacing and weak storytelling.
Overall, it is a film with great potential that falls short because of its inconsistent execution.
